A comic book journey to see the Eye of Antiquity

0433 Yang Lei and Elsa

With the return of the group from Tenrou Island, Fairy Tail guild stirred up trouble again, and the gathering lasted until after 10 p.m.

Many people were drunk when the banquet ended.

No, it should be said that the banquet finally ended because many people got drunk.

Looking at the people lying all over the hall, Yang Lei shook his head with amusement, walked over to a collapsed table and chairs, and picked up Erza who was lying on the table.

After the party started, Erza ran off to the side to drink and play with Cana and the others.

Yang Lei was constantly being dragged along by Makarov to drink with him, who said that they were the same age group and that even Gildas was not qualified, which left Yang Lei helpless.

Picking up Erza, with Gilly sleeping soundly in her arms, Yang Lei glanced at the Yukino and Freya sisters. Seeing that they were surrounded by girls, he didn't need to worry about them being taken advantage of by others. He nodded and turned to walk out the door.

After leaving the guild, Yang Lei walked forward, crossed the main street in the middle, and arrived at his family's large villa.

"Erza".

Before opening the door, Yang Lei paused for a moment and asked Erza in his arms, "Have you thought it through? After you step through this door, you'll be part of my family."

Erza, who should have been asleep, suddenly opened her eyes, looked at Yang Lei with a dazed expression, and gently stroked his long hair.

Although Erza didn't know the meaning behind Yang Lei's long hair, she could guess that it must be related to her.

So she became somewhat obsessed. Did that long, beautiful hair represent her longing for her?

Seven years! She only took a nap and stayed on Tianlang Island for less than a week, but seven whole years had passed in the outside world.

"I miss you so much."

Erza buried her face in Yang Lei's arms, which was her answer.

"Me too."

Yang Lei smiled and, without further hesitation, quickened his pace, carrying Erza and Gilly back home.

Without disturbing the housekeeper and several maids, Yang Lei teleported directly to his bedroom.

Of course, he didn't forget about Geely, that little light bulb.

Originally, Jili shared a bedroom with Yang Lei, but they didn't share a bed. Instead, a small bed was set up for her next to Yang Lei's bed.

To put it simply, Yang Lei has been raising Geely like a daughter from the very beginning.

Yang Lei usually spoils Jili, just like he dotes on Yukino and Freya.

But not today. He sent her, along with the small bed, to the guest room.

His family has quite a few guest rooms. Not only did Shuanglong each have a guest room back then, but his two goddaughters also each had a room.

Later, as Shuanglong grew older, Yang Lei kicked them out, on the grounds that he was worried they would seduce his daughter.

Chapter 500

Gilly was casually thrown into a guest room by Yang Lei, and then he couldn't wait to hug Erza and savor the delicious food he had been craving for a long time.

Yang Lei had already admitted that he was attracted to Erza because she was just too dazzling.

In other words, the phrase "have been craving it for a long time" is not used incorrectly.

. . . . . .

Seven years later, all the secrets were finally revealed, and Yang Lei and Erza finally got together. Their guildmates cheered them on!

Although the two are not yet married, their friends are not worried that they will break up, because their love is truly able to withstand the test of time.

Yang Lei goes without saying. He had no news of Erza for seven whole years, yet he remained chaste for her, demonstrating his unwavering loyalty.

As for Erza, she took the initiative to confess her feelings but was rejected by Yang Lei. However, she did not give up. Instead, she stood there quietly waiting until Yang Lei turned around and realized that Erza had been standing there waiting for him all along.

When two people like this come together, it's safe to say that the troubles others encounter are no trouble at all for them.

Therefore, their partners directly offered the word "union," indicating that they were certain they would eventually walk down the aisle.

The two happily accepted the blessings from their friends, and that very day they went to Bisca and Alzak for advice: were they planning to get married today? You two aren't even engaged yet, okay?

Well, actually Yang Lei was just playing along with Erza's nonsense. He's been there, and he even served as the officiant at Bisca and Alzac's wedding, so he knows the wedding process.

But Erza was too excited. She was finally with Yang Lei and couldn't wait to get married today and have his baby tomorrow. It's just that this girl can be really ridiculous when she's being silly.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, filled with laughter and merriment.

"The Yondaime ah々‖."

That morning, Yang Lei and Erza arrived at the guild hand in hand when they heard Makarov's call from the bar. The voice was weak and listless, and Makarov even referred to Yang Lei as the Fourth Hokage. This was clearly not a good sign.

"What's up?"

Yang Lei led Erza quickly to the bar.

With Erza's return, Yang Lei finally stopped growing his hair long. The morning after they officially became a couple, he asked her to give him a neat haircut.

Erza really doesn't know how to cut hair. She originally planned to ask Yang Lei to ask Lucy for help, since Lucy is one of the Celestials' best skills: haircutting and styling.

But Yang Lei shook his head and told Erza that only the woman he loved could touch his hair, not even his beloved daughters.

Don't even mention that Yukino and the others are adopted daughters; even his own children wouldn't do. This is something he left for his wife, something for their enjoyment as a couple.

Since Yang Lei had said so, Erza naturally didn't hesitate. She immediately changed into the fastest suit of armor, quickly circled around Yang Lei dozens of times, and finally shaved his head bald...

That's why people say Yang Lei's hairstyle is very refreshing.

Leaving aside these trivial matters, let's look at Makarov's situation.

"The Fourth Generation."

Makarov was visibly dejected, his face dark as he looked up at Yang Lei and asked, "How do you run the guild? What about the guild's quests? Why are there only small quests from our own town? And they're all trivial matters?"

It turns out that Makarov hadn't noticed before; he'd been too busy having a good time these past few days.

It wasn't until this morning (of De Zhao's time) that the group on Tianlang Island finally discovered something: the task board, which was once filled with tasks seven years ago, now only has a few kittens left.

The second floor was even worse. After the guild was expanded once, the second floor was completely canceled, and the S-rank quest board was moved to the first floor. It was obvious that there wasn't a single quest assignment. This made Makarov extremely disappointed. Had Fairy Tail, the original number one guild, really declined to such an extent?

"Let me explain."

Yang Lei shrugged nonchalantly, pointed behind him, and immediately began to shift the blame, saying, "It's all those bastards' fault."

"Damn it, this is all your own responsibility, okay?"

Suddenly, a roar of resentment came from behind.

Even the Black and White Dragons, who were always getting beaten up, couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "Didn't you keep blocking Yukino and Freya from joining us in the Grand Magic Games? Otherwise, we wouldn't be in such a sorry state."

"The Grand Magic Games?"

0434 Grand Magic Tournament

Who is to blame for Fairy Tail's decline?

It really is Yang Lei's fault.

If it weren't for him stopping them, Yukino and Freya would have been promoted to S-class mages long ago.

And as long as they don't encounter Hato, the Scaled Serpent, a team of four S-class mages is truly invincible.

If Fairy Tail hadn't ended up in such a sorry state, aside from a few small local missions, there would be practically no missions outside of Fairy Tail.

As for why he doesn't develop a guild, it's because he's rich, so why is he in such a hurry?

Do you all remember that he killed a whole mountain range of tigers back then? Those were magical beasts, and the Tiger King was even an S-class beast, incredibly precious.

The tiger carcasses in this batch, whether tiger skins, tiger bones, or tiger meat, are all very precious magical materials.

It was just the carcasses of tens of thousands of tigers. Yang Lei even kept the Tiger King. The money from the sale not only renovated the guild but also supported it until now. There are still a lot of savings left, amounting to hundreds of millions of J. Even Makarov was shocked.

In this way, it doesn't matter if the guild has no quests to accept, or if the guild's mages don't do quests, because they have money.

Yang Lei even covered Lucy's rent, the guild dormitory fees, and the rent for other mages—that's how extravagant he was.

As for what to do if someone wants to do the task. 440

No problem. Why did he befriend guilds like Mermaid's Heel? It was all preparation for the past few years.

Chapter 501

Don't be fooled by the fact that there aren't many quests in the guild. If someone wants to do a quest, they can simply go to another guild to take it on.

Whether it's Boa Hancock's Scales, Four-Headed Hound, Blue Pegasus, or Mermaid's Heel, they all have a good relationship with Fairy Tail.

Of course, Mermaid's Heel has a unique feature: it doesn't allow male mages to take on missions. Apart from Yang Lei, only Yukino and Freya are allowed to go. Even Alzac, who is already married to Bisca, has to wait outside. It's quite unique.

As for why Yang Lei was able to get in, one reason is that he helped Kagura back then, allowing the young Kagura to avoid many detours. Now, she even possesses the strength and title of the Tenth Saint.

Secondly, Yang Lei is the guild leader, so it's impossible for him to just wander around other guilds for no reason. Mermaid's Heel saw this and that's why they gave him special treatment.

After hearing the guild's veiled insults, Karlov's face darkened even more.

The value of a guild cannot be measured by money; having more money is useless in the long run.

However, Yang Lei did take good care of the guild members, "705u.com - Reading Club First Release," which left Makarov speechless.

Aside from his own daughter, he'll connect you with other people who want to do tasks, making sure you have tasks to do.

And if you don't want to do tasks, he won't force you. Isn't that very open-minded and free?

In other words, Sting and Rogue have always wanted to reclaim the title of the number one guild.

"Take it back?"

The word "reclaimed" made Makarov very sensitive. The old man jumped up quickly, beckoned the two little dragons that had joined later, and asked, "What happened? Tell me the details."

Before the Tenrou Island incident, although Fairy Tail had already gained the momentum of being the number one guild in the Fiore Kingdom after defeating Phantom Flame, they hadn't received a clear title, had they?

From what the Twin Dragons said, it seemed that the guild had won the title of number one after they left, which made Makarov very interested.

Not to mention him, everyone else on the Sirius Island trip was also very interested.

Then, the Black and White Dragons began to recount the first Grand Magic Tournament in vivid detail.

Especially after Ridasu, who had mastered the magic of painting, drew out each scene from back then, the group from Tenrou Island kept exclaiming in amazement, praising Yang Lei for defeating all his competitors single-handedly and winning the first Grand Magic Games championship for Fairy Tail with his own team. It sounded incredibly exciting.

Natsu, in particular, couldn't wait to go to the Grand Magic Games and cause a ruckus right now.

"Sting, Rogue, haven't you always wanted to know why I won't let you participate in Grand Magic Games?"

Just then, Yang Lei, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, smiling as he rubbed Shuanglong's head with both hands, just like he had done when they were young many years ago.

"Actually, I deliberately didn't develop you, so you wouldn't compete for the championship."

As Yang Lei looked up at each person, he said, "The reason is that I want to work together with everyone after we come back. That feeling will definitely get people excited."

"Besides, we won the championship at the beginning and we won the championship at the end. Isn't it great to have Fairy Tail in control of both the beginning and the end?"

Yang Lei's words left many people feeling confused.

The first sentence was alright; it expressed the doubts of those who remained behind: they clearly had the ability to compete, so why was Yang Lei always obstructing them?

But the next sentence made them realize that the Grand Magic Games were about to end. They hadn't heard any such news.

Although it's not over yet, it's not far from over, at least that's true for Yang Lei.

Don't blame Yang Lei for being selfish; with the end of the seven-year hiatus, he deduced that he would soon be leaving this world.

Therefore, he refused the two dragons' request to participate in the competition, fearing that the Gate of Eclipse would absorb enough magic power ahead of time, open the gate ahead of time, and welcome ten thousand dragons ahead of time.

If the plot goes completely wrong, forcing him to eliminate Jelf and Acnologia prematurely and leave this world ahead of time, he will break down because he hasn't been with Erza yet.

Furthermore, he genuinely wanted to work with his partners to lead the guild, which had fallen into a slump, back to its peak. As he said, it felt great to fight alongside his partners.

"Is there only a little over a year left?"

Yang Lei looked down at the Fairy Tail emblem on his wrist. Although he was a little reluctant, he no longer found it as hard to accept as when he left the worlds of Bleach and Naruto.

"I've made up my mind."

While Yang Lei was lost in thought and didn't know what the others were saying, he suddenly heard Makarov shout loudly and say firmly and resolutely, "We will participate in the Grand Magic Games three months from now, and our goal is to win back the championship that belongs to us."

"Oh."

The guild's members, especially the Four Dragons, were eager to engage in battle right now.

Actually, Wendy was also very excited, but her position was support, so she wasn't as competitive as the four dragons.

With Makarov's decision, Fairy Tail, which has been absent from the Grand Magic Games for five years, is finally returning.

This guild, which swept to victory in the first tournament, will once again shine at the Grand Magic Games, proclaiming to the world that Fairy Tail has returned, and remains the strongest guild in the Fiore Kingdom.
